[Talib Kweli, Patrick Stump, Miguel - Echoes lyrics]
Like that right there it feels so African
Got a little somethin' on my chest
Gotta get it off, gotta get it off
You say the meanest fuckin' things to me
And I pretend that I don't care
But when it's said and done
And the war is won your words are all I hear
And they echo and they echo
And they echo and they echo
Say what you mean, mean what you say
You the meanest girl, you my Tina Fey
Like you out for pain, like you out for shame
But, you pout when I call you out your name
Your words burnin' me, you're my bird of prey
When you feed your young, you regurgitate
What I heard you say and reverberate
But, I'm a man, gotta show my vertebrae
I'm the kind to wait
You can come through with
You can run to it and get numb to it
Treat you like the Autobahn, just sung to it
Treat you like my favorite song
And just jump to it
Girl you waste my bluff when we makin' love
Can't take it, love, you my favorite drug
You my fleur-de-lys, you disturb the peace
Cause you hurtin' me
You turned to me and said
Love is a potion that's fluent
Let's keep it movin'
The only thing that's magic is moments
I'm only human
The only thing that's tragic is
Futures that we can ruin
I pound for couple of hours, double influence
Need a break from the words you're usin'
My love broke my Kevin Hart
Let me explain cause I see what you're doin'
Mama said, "You don't need to stay"
Papa said, "Boy you need to pray", goddamn
You say the meanest fuckin' things to me
And I pretend that I don't care
But when it's said and done
And the war is won your words are all I hear
And they echo and they echo
And they echo and they echo
We can't internalize the things
People say to us
But it make you sus, I need a break from us
I used to think your attitude
Was a major plus now the way you talk to me
Is like we breakin' up
Tryna get into my zone without
You makin' a fuss like sticks and stones
Your words breakin' stuff
They hittin' home, but I can take a punch
I'm your David Lynch, you're my naked lunch
I found space for us, found a place for us
Used to pray for love, used to pray for us
Would've gave you my blood but you gave it up
My heart a house for this love
But you sprayed it up
You can't take a brush
Comments is tangled up
In a web of emotion that's dangerous
I can't make this up
That shit is lame as fuck
I ain't a slave but I'm out
Here tryna make a buck stayin' on my hustle
I ride around and I spend it
Set it into motion like
Butterflies to defect it
Tryin' to pretend that the
Words are never effective
Seem to work for a second but
Never be worth the effort
I'm a man and they say I
Ain't s'posed to run on emotions
So I let you get away with
More than you were supposed to
I kept it bottled up like a
Note to float in the ocean
Just stop myself, I'm explodin'
You say the meanest fuckin' things to me
And I pretend that I don't care
But when it's said and done
And the war is won your words are all I hear
And they echo and they echo
And they echo and they echo
Got a little somethin' on my chest
Gotta get it off, gotta get it off
You say the meanest fuckin' things to me
And I pretend that I don't care
But when it's said and done
And the war is won your words are all I hear
And they echo and they echo
And they echo and they echo
Say what you mean, mean what you say
You the meanest girl, you my Tina Fey
Like you out for pain, like you out for shame
But, you pout when I call you out your name
Your words burnin' me, you're my bird of prey
When you feed your young, you regurgitate
